Fred Jackson ‎– Hootin' 'N Tootin' 1962 (Blue Note)

Label : Blue Note

Value :

A classic! This is one of the rarest of the rare of all Blue Note
albums – and it's the only-ever session cut as a leader by the great
tenor player Fred Jackson! The album's a really heavy burner – an
all-out organ/tenor assault with the kind of gutbuckety soul groove that
only peaked on a rare few Blue Note sessions! Earl Van Dyke plays
organ on the session, and it's one of the few jazz albums he appears on,
apart from the "soul instrumental" sessions he cut later for Motown.
The whole thing's down-n-dirty and mighty nasty – with a feel that's
much more like some of the Prestige soul jazz cookers of the time than
the usual Blue Note set!
